It’s much more fun to play something you’re nothing like than what you are… It’s much easier to hide yourself in a character.
Clint EastwoodI think any activity you have your kids in, you’re all trying to live vicariously through them. And you’re jealous of the kid that’s naturally more talented or has the facility, the body, the genes, or the God-given talent. People get jealous of that.
Abby Lee MillerMy favorite movies of all times is ‚Doctor Zhivago,‘ and I love ‚Gone With the Wind.‘ I’d love to play some Southern belle or something where I owned a plantation.
Dolly PartonFun is good.
Dr. SeussActually, you have to be a little bit in love with your leading man and vice versa. If you’re going to portray love, you have to feel it. You can’t do it any other way. But you don’t carry it beyond the set.
Audrey HepburnDancing in high heels is kind of tough. I learn the dances without the heels, and then we add them. We just practice, and I get used to it. My feet hurt really badly at the end of the shows, but it’s fun. While it’s happening it’s fun. I feel tall.
Ariana GrandeI used to make little movies when I was younger. I’d make my friends be in them and then edit them.
Billie EilishThere’s my personal life, my sensitive side, and then me as a performer, sexy and energised and fun.
Beyonce KnowlesMovies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.
Charlie ChaplinI always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful. It doesn’t feel like a regular hospital all dreary and sad. It’s a colorful, beautiful, comfortable, fun place to live and the energy is wonderful.
Ariana GrandeI’ve got a great sense of humor, and if I’m able to say or do something in a movie that people feel like they want to repeat, that’s hugely flattering.
Matthew McConaugheyMost of the time spent wrestling with technologies that don’t quite work yet is just not worth the effort for end users, however much fun it is for nerds like us.
Douglas AdamsI like to have fun all the time, even if I’m working.
Tom BradyMy success comes in making fun of whatever you’re doing. That’s my way.
Kevin HartWhen I’m a director, I look at myself the actor as a completely different person. It’s somebody else up there, an actor playing a role. I keep myself out of it.
Clint EastwoodToday was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.
Dr. SeussI wouldn’t put myself forward to do a film like ‚Changeling‘ if I thought I couldn’t pull people into a story because of all the other ways people see me.
Angelina JolieThere is no such thing as fun for the whole family.
Jerry SeinfeldWhat I do is just go over and over and over my lines and learn the script so well that I can just be easy and relaxed. That’s the way I always work.
Anthony HopkinsI’d just as soon play tennis with the net down.
Robert FrostWe believed in our idea – a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.
Walt DisneyGreat American sport. Horseshoes is a very great game. I love it.
Dan QuayleI love performing, you know, because, like I say, I’m a ham for this stuff.
Mr. TAll I have to say is basically if performing, singing, acting, and dancing is what you want to do, then you just have to do it – no matter where it is.
Ariana GrandeI prefer directing to acting. There is huge freedom that comes from being behind the camera. It brings a lot of responsibilities as well but is intensely rewarding.
Angelina JolieI don’t get bored.
Haruki MurakamiIf you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.
Katharine HepburnI want to try something different in Hollywood, to tell the audience I am not just an actor star – I am an actor, too.
Jackie ChanWriting is the most fun you can have by yourself.
Terry PratchettI got my buzz from playing.
George BestI’ve done the bad-boy thing. It was fun for a good three months. But the thing about bad boys is, you have to keep in mind, you’re never gonna marry a bad boy.
Ariana GrandeSomething I learned as an actor was which scenes needed to be rehearsed and which actors are good with rehearsal, which actors learn from it, and which ones grow stale because they start to second-guess themselves.
Angelina JolieMy mom always wanted me to be an actor. And I started going to theater and going on auditions young.
Angelina JolieI love to go to the zoo. But not on Sunday. I don’t like to see the people making fun of the animals, when it should be the other way around.
Ernest HemingwayI’d love to date somebody cool, fun, funny.
RihannaI had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.
Muhammad AliI hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one.
William ShakespeareWhen you combine boring with fear, you have fun.
Robert KiyosakiOne good thing about acting in film is that it’s good therapy.
Denzel WashingtonThe goal for me is always to have the opportunity to work in different genres. This is a great and exciting time in my career, where I can have the opportunity to work in different genres, and also I recognize there’s not a lot of actors who have that opportunity and I’m grateful for it.
Dwayne JohnsonTo be honest with you, when I got into this I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.
Adam SandlerIt’s a lot of fun to fight.
Jim MattisI play a nobody in Japan.
Jackie ChanI think that people are interested seeing me on the screen.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerThe Four Levels of Comedy: Make your friends laugh, Make strangers laugh, Get paid to make strangers laugh, and Make people talk like you because it’s so much fun.
Jerry SeinfeldI like talking. I like acting.
Denzel WashingtonThe art of acting is not to act. Once you show them more, what you show them, in fact is bad acting.
Anthony HopkinsI’d like to do a completely off-the-wall collaboration. I would like one of my songs to be the hook to a rap song. That would be so much fun!
Taylor SwiftI think that success is having fun.
Bruno MarsFirst you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.
F. Scott FitzgeraldI think we’re having fun. I think our customers really like our products. And we’re always trying to do better.
Steve JobsI’ve always felt toward the slightest scene, even if all I had to do in a scene was just to come in and say, ‚Hi,‘ that the people ought to get their money’s worth and that this is an obligation of mine, to give them the best you can get from me.
Marilyn MonroeLife’s like a play: it’s not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaI was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead.
Gilbert K. ChestertonBecause we’re actors we can pretend and fake it, but I’d rather the intimate investment was authentic.
Keanu ReevesWe all know what flopping is when we see it. The stuff that you see is where guys aren’t really getting hit at all and are just flailing around like a fish out of water.
Kobe BryantThere are a lot of inaccuracies out there when it comes to the SEAL training process. You will see guys carrying logs around on television. They think that the hardest part about being on a SEAL team is getting through that training. The fact of the matter is, if you have a good attitude, that training is fun. I had a blast.
Jocko WillinkStand-up can take you in so many different places, man. So many doors can be opened up from stand-up comedy, and the first one that was opened up for me was acting.
Kevin HartWhen I got into this, I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me, I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor, and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.
Adam SandlerActing is a question of absorbing other people’s personalities and adding some of your own experience.
Jean-Paul Sartre
